There is a small BUG in 1.2.2. See for the solution MoinMoinBugs/UnpicklingError
It doesn't contain many features, but simply some fixes for stuff that should work.
Fixes:
* python related:
* own copy of difflib removed
Until moin 1.2.1 we had our own copy of python 2.2.3's difflib coming
with moin. This was to work around some problems with broken older 2.2
python installations. We removed this now because if you have py 2.3,
there is even a better difflib coming with python (and that fixes an
extremely slow diff calculation happening in some rare cases).
So the good news is that when you run python 2.3, you don't need to do
anything and it will run great. If you run python 2.2.3, it will mostly
work good and you also don't need to do anything. The bad news is that
if you run an old and broken 2.2 installation (2.2.1, maybe 2.2.2) you
will have to fix it on your own (just copy difflib.py from python 2.2.3
over to your python 2.2.x installation).
But better upgrade to python 2.3 (for debian woody, there's a backport),
as 2.3 generally runs better and faster than 2.2.
* scripts changed to use #!/usr/bin/env python (not /usr/bin/python2.2)
* user accounts and ACLs:
* we now require the user to specify a password for a new account (you
were not able to login without a password anyway)
* it is not allowed any more to create user accounts with user names
matching config.page_group_regex - please check manually that you do
not already have such users existing (like a user named "AdminGroup"):
cd data/user ; grep name=.*Group * # there should be no output!
* subscription email sending now honours ACLs correctly
* markup / rendering / user interface fixes:
* fixed merging multiple lines indented by the same amount of blanks
* ## comments don't break tables in two parts
* added a "remove bookmark" link to RecentChanges
* fixed DeletePage / RenamePage / SpellCheck to work on subpages, too
* fixed action=titleindex (added \n after each entry)
* RSS fixes:
* non-ASCII characters should work now
* RSS feed (Recentchanges?action=rss_rc) gives UTC timestamps now
* removed attribute breaking RSS feed on RecentChanges
* better email generation:
* if you use python >=2.2.2, we add a Message-ID header to emails
* if you use python 2.2.1, there is no email.Header. Instead of crashing
(like previous moin 1.2.x releases), we just use the subject "as is" in
that case. If it is not ASCII, this is not standards compliant.
* If you have >=2.2.2 it will use email.Header to make standards compliant
subject lines.
* use config.mail_from as sender address when sending "lost my password"
emails
* file attachments:
* fixed for standalone server
* attachment URLs (when handled by moin) don't include server name
* fixed some wrong & in html src
* better themeability:
* some entries in dict "d" where only present in header theme calls, some
only in footer theme calls. Now almost all is present in both calls.
* added some missing "content" divs so sidebar themes look better
* fixed some crashes producing backtraces:
* no IOError when diffing against deleted page
* no backtrace in xml footnote generation
* no SystemInfo crash when no editlog exists in new wikis
* xmlrpc.getRecentChanges fixed
* MoinMoin.util.filesys.rename is now a wrapper around os.rename that
fixes os.rename on broken win32 api semantics
Other Changes:
* saving traffic and load by improved robot meta tag generation:
* "noindex,nofollow" on queries and POSTs
* "index,follow" on FrontPage and TitleIndex (give robots a chance ;))
* "index,nofollow" on all other pages (hopefully saving lots of senseless
requests for page?action=...)
* removed config.html_head_queries (was used for same stuff)
* added russian i18n (utf-8)
* misc. other translation updates / fixes
* added rightsidebar theme
* TitleIndex now folds case, so "APage" and "anotherPage" are both under
letter "A".
* added macro/PageHits.py - it calculates the hits each page gets since
beginning of logging
